Congrats! As long as the barrels are safe I think you have a really nice early lifter. Barrels look to be 32"?

If that is a 12ga it has pretty heavy barrels and would be a bargain.

The listing showed it to be a 12ga with 30" barrels. I guess I will find out for sure next week. I will most likely order a letter for it once I have it in hand.

You know the more I look at it the more they look like 32" barrels.

Presuming the LOP is 14" I took a steel machinist's rule and laid it to the edge of the butt plate and at the front trigger it measured just a hair more than 2 5/16". Then I measured the barrel using this 2 5/16" scale and got a rough 28" plus about 2" barrel length. So to me it looks closer to 30" if my very rough calc'lations mean anything.

I think I got a Parker Light 10. The thing only weighs 7.3Lbs, the barrels without the forearm weighs 3.4Lbs.
